Morvan, your infos are accurate.
Lucienparis.
Yes, it was definitely for a Breguet B14.
The series number, 1672, indicates it was a Chauviere design and drawing. The other numbers refer to the aircraft. Is it possible that the "B" is actually an "R"?
Nice sale on eBay! It is a very attractive propeller.

Dave, I doon't think "B" could be "R"
On the props, as far as I have noticed, we can read B, or Br, or Be , or Bre when fitted to Breguet airplanes.
For the present prop, the dwg and serial figures refer to a Breguet A2 or B2 and I don't see what could be the meaning of "R".
Renault engines were stamped Re and Rhone engines Rh on the propeller's hub.
Yes, the Breguet XIV had a 220 hp Renault engine ...

Lamar,
the ebay item number is 150032078772.
Rectification on my precedent post: the breguet XIV was fitted with a 265 hp Renault to start and finally with a 300 hp Renault.
In this case it is a 300 hp power prop
B2 was for the Breguet XIV B2 model
Rm 300 for Renault moteur (engine) 300 cv (hp)

Thank you Lucienparis. NOW I understand why I couldn't find it on my own; it's not English language. Nice prop, too.
